Well so much for that thought. The most disastrous campaign in the United States doesn't just up and win the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in one of our most populous states. This campaign's success level has already eclipsed that of hoardes of wannabe campaigns down through history!
I sent Katherine flowers in 2000 during the SoreLoserman debacle - she saved the nation then. I'll gladly send her another round when she wins the Senate seat!
Amen to that.
Yeah, so whose fault is that, Jim, "Mr.Campaign Manager?" Hmmm?

Yes, that was the problem. Either a lot of good conservatives who worked closely with her all say she ran a disastrous campaign, or Harris hired a bunch of incompetent non-conservatives to run her campaign.
Neither speaks well of her chances for November, although now that she is the candidate she needs all of our backing.
After all, her positions on the issues is sound, and Nelson is no friend of the republicans OR the conservatives.
It doesn't matter any more that other candidates who didn't have the organization to beat her in the primary might have done better in the general election.
Also, I assume, or hope, or pray, or whatever it is you do at this time, that a lot of the polls showing her losing badly to Nelson were partly driven by supporters of OTHER republican candidates saying they would vote for Nelson instead of her -- that's what people supporting other primary candidates DO in polls, to scare people into voting for their own candidate.
It is almost certain that most of those who voted in the primary, or who supported other candidates, will on the next poll say they will vote for Katherine rather than Nelson. Whether that is enough to make her a "viable" candidate, I don't know. If it does, the momentum will then cause others to decide to vote for her -- those people who hate to vote for losers, and yes there are people like that who vote, sad as it may be.
It is pathetic how so much of our voting public is driven by polls, but that's just how it is.
Harris can win the election. After all, it hasn't happened yet, and people can walk into those booths and decide to vote for what is best for Florida. But she needs republicans to be on message, if not for her, AT LEAST supporting her position on issues and denouncing Nelson for HIS position on issues.
Focus on the issues, let her campaign sell her as having the right position on those issues. Certainly we all can AT LEAST do that, right? No matter how much you don't like her, you certainly can support the RIGHT POSITION ON ISSUES, even if they happen to be HER position, right?
